gathering dust
in the garage
his late wife's wheelchair

dining alone -
her radio plays
our love song

• Color haiku prompts from NaHaiWriMo (National Haiku Writing Month)
• color them red
• innocent victims
• of gun violence
• 
  staring puzzled
• at a deep black abyss
• kins of murder victims

still green 

in the art of love

sheepishly grinning

friends forever
sharing love and laughter
on Valentine's day

dust we are
to dust we shall return
Ash Wednesday rule

winter rain
the warmth of her touch
in my dream

COLUMBIA SPACE SHUTTLE

by Victor P. Gendrano © 2003

(To the seven astronauts, including 2 women, of the ill-fated 

Space Shuttle Columbia, February 1, 2003)

let our remains

scatter on earth’s bowel

we’ve paved the way

so future astronauts

can carry on our goals

------------------------------

yonder above the vast expanse

how puny the earth looks

a blue-white speck adrift

almost in nothingness

just for a little while there

I sensed not only loneliness

but fragile hope for humankind

in its incessant search

for peace
